Mysterious and intensely driven, Barry Jenkins doesn't shy away from going after what he wants. Win his trust and he's one of the most loyal friends around — break it and you may never get a second chance.

Moon in Scorpio*
Degree: 26°
Barry Jenkins tries to keep his emotions under wraps, but his intuition is razor-sharp — he sees right through people. He doesn’t scare easily and will pursue the truth even if it stings, though that bluntness can hurt others along the way. Once he truly trusts someone, his loyalty and protectiveness run incredibly deep, and betrayal is the one thing he won’t forgive.
